STRONGS NT 2423: Ιεχονιας

Ιεχονιας, Ιεχονιου, ὁ (יְהויָכִין Jehoiakin, i. e. whom Jehovah appointed; the Sept. Ἰωαχιν ((?) see B. D. American edition uner the word, Jehoiachin)), Jechoniah, king of Judah, carried off into exile by Nebuchadnezzar (circa) after a reign of three months, 2 Kings 24:8-17; 2 Chronicles 36:9; Jeremiah 52:31. He is mentioned in Matthew 1:11f. But he was not, as is there stated, the son of Josiah, but of Jehoiakim; nor did he have brethren, but his father had them. Accordingly, in the Evangelist's geneaology the names יְהויָקִים and יְהויָכִין have been confounded; (cf. B. D. as above, and references there).
